Uphill Rush 3 Instructions

As for controls of Uphill Rush 3, they are pretty easy to learn and master... much easier compared to the previous installment. The driving and steering part stays pretty much the same. Press the up directional key to start moving forward and accelerate. Hit the down directional key to slow down and back up... this should be useful for gathering momentum. And the left and right arrow keys are for leaning - this is crucial for keeping your motorcycle at a balanced position all the time. While that part stays the same, the controls for the stunts have changed. To execute a motorcycle stunt, just press the space bar button and that is done automatically for you. Some of you, especially those who are new to motorcycle games, may find this nice since it makes it easier for you to micro your motorcycle. Back then, you need to press numbers 1 to 5 to execute a stunt. HOWEVER, others may find the game less challenging and somewhat watered down. You take your pick. As for me, it's not much of a deal. As for the Nitro Power, same thing... the more stunts you pull off, the faster it's filled. Once you need that speed boost for your motorcycle, just press X to activate the nitro and set that motorcycle track on fire! Onto the game...

Uphill Rush 3 Walkthrough

Motorcycle games like Uphill Rush and Uphill Rush 2 have a pretty standard goal: go through the obstacles (ramps, loops, etc.), earn points by pulling off stunts, DON'T fall on the ground, and finish the race tracks. Uphill Rush 3 has the same game play... and by the way, keep your rider in one piece. Once he hits the ground, no matter how trivial or harmless it may seem, you need to start again with the nearest check point.

Continuing with the tradition set by the previous installments, you have 5 lives at the start of the game. 5 lives may sound a lot... the usual is 3. BUT believe me, it isn't! The difficulty level of the obstacles is pretty high compared to other motorcycle games and you end up losing the game with an abysmal score if you are not careful. The game comes with 2 types of challenges - the cup and the time trials. The cup races are pretty standard. Race through the track, gather as many points and cash in the process. The time trial, on the other hand, pits you in a battle against the ticking clock. Can you make it to the finish line in time?

For every level, whether it's a cup race or time trial, you will find 3 levels of difficulty - easy, normal, and hard race tracks. Nothing new there, BUT in case you haven't played Uphill Rush before, let me tell you this: the difficulty ramps up a lot. Easy may be a piece of cake, BUT the difficulty isn't just difficult... it's fiendishly difficult. I hope you get my drift.

Alright, next stuff: upgrades. Aside from the vehicle upgrades where you can buy a motorcycle, skateboard, get a horse, or even a cow (which costs a whopping 75,000 bucks... pretty expensive), most of the other upgrades are just for visual appeal. Changing the color of your skin, grabbing a cool looking jacket and shirt, and those are just to name a few. I'm not really bothered with it.

While some may argue that the challenge has been watered down a little and some of the upgrades are pointless, Uphill Rush 3 is still a pretty cool motorcycle game you may want to check out.
